SPONTANEITY

Is my blog still spontaneous if I planned it that way? I'm Caitlin by the way for those who are nice or random enough to care. I love Sci-Fi and fantasy tv shows as well as various other types, including Dr Who, Stargate(!!!!), Farscape, Robin Hood, Once Upon a Time, White Collar, Sherlock and about a million other shows. My favourite books include Narnia, The Hunger Games, the Inheritance Cycle, the Percy Jackson series and the Mortal Instruments, Divergent, Harry Potter and Infernal Devices series. I dream of going to Broadway :)

Choices may be unbelievably hard but they’re never impossible. To say you have no choice is to release yourself from responsibility and that’s not how a person with integrity acts.

“There’s not many people that’ll understand what you’re going through. But I think this guy, Xavier, is one of them. He seems to genuinely want to help you. And that’s a rare thing, for people like us. So…what do you say, we give these geeks one more shot?”

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.

History says, Don’t hope On this side of the grave, But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme.

Lewis said to me one day: “Tollers, there is too little of what we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to write some ourselves.”

J.R.R. Tolkien, recounting a conversation he had with C.S. Lewis

Not being able to fully understand God is frustrating, but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable of comprehending.”

Scaffolding by Seamus Heaney

Masons, when they start upon a building, Are careful to test out the scaffolding;

Make sure that planks won’t slip at busy points, Secure all ladders, tighten bolted joints.

And yet all this comes down when the job’s done Showing off walls of sure and solid stone.

So if, my dear, there sometimes seem to be Old bridges breaking between you and me

Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall Confident that we have built our wall.
